no release date?
I thought that it would be cheaper.
Cowon still suprises me now and then. Nothing like a throwback to 3 years ago to keep customers happy. If Apple had done this the whole thing would be no thicker than the metal backplate. The screen would be capacative multitouch and and with twice the resolution in both dimensions. Smaller than the Touch it would sell for $149/8gb and $179/16gb, but there wouldn't be a microSD slot at all. Oh wait, Apple already did that. It's their current Nano you can wear as a watch. Never mind.
no, i do really know,... i already broke 2 nanos, 1 classic, and 3 iphones, and one mighty ipad in audio department.... i do not understand why, there is just no more music coming out of them (ok, nanos maybe are because of falling into snow, and one iphone i am pretty sure that got something when i dropped it from 30cm, but others were working until one day, when the music did gone mono, or blurred, or stopped from coming after all) (the ipod is not all the way my or the product;s fault, it was because i destroyed it when playing inside it... i like circuits, and i was fascinated about some pieces in it...).all this things happened after about 6-8 moths of daily rough use, in the happiest case, with the classic ipod... rest didn't lasted more than 5-9 weeks...maybe these are my experiences, but my j3 has nothing after it had an impact with my floor from about 1m.... and i am using it in very rough conditions....i have ringke on it... but i was having some kind of silicone on iphoned too....
ok, i am pushing every audio thing to the impossible limit, because of my extreme sports... winter, sky, snowmobiles. summer, parachute is good, sometimes just camping (in the middle of a forest without resources, i like pushing myself to limits...)... i cannot stay without music, about 2-3-4-5 hours a day i am listening to music. most of time with iems....
And indeed you are right. cowon is better only with sound enchatments... whithout is just a normal player... but i did found the sound enchatments on it be better than the ones on an apple portable product.... maybe it;s just me, and is a thing of tastes.... but i have some friends that agree with me... this is after two complete days of trying to make the iphone sound be better than cowon j3.... you see, i do wanted to have to carry only one device.... and as some info, samsung galaxy s with vodoo is somehow close to iphone4...
my biggest complain is about the quality of that thing... i mean i do love iphone for gaming, phone talk, and applications... but screw it when it comes to music.... i do not hate the whole apple, but i hate apple if i want to have good music....
